Now Heroes!

Lisa's P.O.V

I found myself in Justin's arms, soaring through the air when I woke up. "Hey Sunshine," He greeted adorably when he noticed that my eyes were open. I felt a tinge of excitement and I smiled at him with my eyes. It did feel like the total perfect romantic situation and again, I just wanted to reach to him and kiss him till eternity.

Just as I was about to slip totally into the daydream… wait, nightdream, I heard a loud scream from below. It was short, sharp and high-pitched. It was surely the scream of a woman and it sounded like danger.

"Did you hear that?" Justin stopped flying abruptly.

"Yeah… why?" He asked.

It was really dark and I should've felt scared but I didn't. I was attracted to the sure danger that was below. "It was a shriek. Someone's in danger." I stated and pursed my lips.

"Alright… so, what do you want us to do?" He asked incuriously.

"We should go save 'em." I suggested. The look on his face told me that he didn't approve.

"We've gotten into enough trouble for a night already, don't you think so?"

We really had. I just hoped the principal wasn't going to have a heart-attack when he sees what happened to his precious school. I felt my conscience pinch me, "Yeah we have…" I agreed. "But. Please… come on. That person needs our help and we're probably the person's only hope. Won't you love to save a life for once at least?" I asked and looked into his eyes, pleading.

"The person has probably already called 911. Why should we stick our asses into the police's business?"

"What if she hasn't? Let's just do it."

"Ugh! Alright…" He finally agreed but reluctantly. "But we gotta be quick."

"Yay!" I was so glad that we were finally going to save someone. I always wanted to be a hero, or better; a superhero. And I wasn't going to blow up my first opportunity.

"This is going to be another rough ride. I hope you're ready for it."

"Only if you carry me on your back" I said and smirked. He agreed and quickly placed me on his back. 'Yes!!' I celebrated triumphantly in my mind. I placed my arms through his underarms in a hugging manner. It was the closest I had ever been to Justin and it felt like pure paradise. His chest felt so muscular.

"You're ready to go save the world?" He interrupted my thoughts and smirked.

"Stop teasing me," I whined. I placed my cheek on his. I felt like locking lips with him for the third time. It was so saddening that in a matter of seconds, he was going to be flying down with frightening speed.

"Hang on tight." And he flew down.

We landed on the sidewalk of a road. The whole neighborhood was deserted outside because it was so deep in the night and everyone was in deep sleep. I felt kinda bad for Justin; if I hadn't bothered him, maybe by now he'd have been fighting Superman. 😆😆

But the streetlights were on so the whole place was bright.

"Shut up or you'll give me a reason to shoot you." I heard a voice say from an alley close by. It sounded pretty gruff.

Justin signaled me to walk stealthily with him and we did until we got to the edge of a building beside which was the alley the sound came from. We peeked into the alley and I saw a man gripping a defenseless lady by her hands with his car's boot open. I knew instinctively that he was trying to kidnap her. She was struggling to free herself from his powerful grip but it was all in vain.

I gravely despised men who treated women badly, no matter what situation I was in, I guess that activated my instincts because before I knew what was happening, I jumped into the scene. All eyes were on me, the man froze in that position. He had a stone-face. Maybe he looked that way to me because he was maltreating a woman. He was about to kidnap her for God's sake. He even had her mouth tied.

"Freeze!" I yelled like a police officer; with a truckload of authority.

Justin's P.O.V

Lisa just slipped out of my watch and into the view of the kidnapper guy and his victim. Why the heck did she reveal herself when we hadn't made any plan or anything of that sort? I just stood and watched from the spot she ditched me at.

'She's surely going to take care of herself, right?' I asked myself. 'Since criminals are so scared of people wearing eye masks, they were probably going to wet their pants in fear at the sight of them.' I thought and chuckled in my mind. Anyways, I was readily ready to help her in case she ever needed my help. But for the meantime, I was just going to stay and watch

As she yelled 'Freeze,' the man got a knife and placed it close to the woman's neck menacingly. He stood at her back. He was using that to scare Lisa; he probably figured that the last thing she wanted was the victim dead.

He used his other hand that was free; his right hand to get a pistol from his back pocket. He pointed it at Lisa.

Lisa on the other hand, had those ice plates on her arms again. Her eyes were probably blue but I couldn't see them. I stood ready; in case she was in any form of danger but I was certain pistols weren't going to be a problem to her. And I hadn't watched an intriguing action movie in a long time… so I let her take the spotlight.

Ice started forming from her hand with the shape of a sword. An ice sword? Amazing! I knew the movie was going to be great! He got startled by the sword and at once, shot at her.

I was about to stop the bullet when I saw her using the sword to cut it in half in slow-motion. Nothing… I mean, nothing! Happened to the ice sword or her. And the way she cut the bullet was so unexpected, yet amazing. I felt so very proud of her at that point. 'That damn kidnapper was already dead!' I thought to myself.

But wait, Lisa wasn't supposed to kill him. Oh My God! If she finally got her first kill, it was all going to be my fault. Damn! I couldn't think of anything to do but pray that she won't kill him. So I prayed.

He dropped the pistol and then brought out a small shotgun from his left back pocket this time. Was he some kind of clone version of The Mask???

He shot at her and up to twenty ball-bearing like bullets went flying towards her. I wasn't going to let her take care of that one herself so I intervened. I stopped them and made them fall to the ground. They bounced almost endlessly.

I had to get into the picture. I really wanted to sleep and the 'movie' was taking too much time. I made the man immobile just with the movement of my eyeballs. And then, I made him open both his arms as if he was about to hug someone. Finally, I made him open his fists and his weapons fell to the ground.

"You can go now, ma'am." I said with a masculine voice I faked.

She turned back slowly and saw the kidnapper defenseless with open arms. She was astonished.

She untied the cloth that was used to tie her mouth and heaved a sigh. "Are you sure?" She asked unbelievably.

"Yes ma'am" I assured her. "But please tell no one about your encounter with us." I said in the same fake voice. I really hoped she was not going to tell anyone about this 'cause I didn't want anyone on our tails.

"I won't. Thank you both so much for saving my life. I'm eternally indebted to you for this." She said and smiled, revealing the gap between her first two incisors. I loved the gratefulness in her voice and the happiness she expressed. Now I saw what Lisa meant.

I nodded. "It's our pleasure." And she took off running.

The man's eyes were twitching. That was the only part of his body that he could move. I walked to him, got behind him and held his arms tightly in a way that ensured that he wasn't going to escape. It was the same way he held that woman's hands.

Then Lisa walked towards me.

I felt a raging sensation flow through my veins. I was mad at her for merely going there to show her mastery and not caring about doing the real deal; which was saving the woman. It was alright when she sliced the bullet the first time but afterwards, she just stood there, waiting for another challenge from him. Really, if he wasn't the dumbass he was, he could have just sliced off or blown the victim's head off instead of foolishly shooting her (Lisa.) The whole aim would have then been defeated.

"Why were you that careless? What if you got killed?" I asked with spite.

"And that's the simple reason I didn't. Besides, I can always take care of myself. I don't know who even asked for your intervention." She shot bitterly.

"Oh so that's it? 'Who asked for my intervention??' Not even a thank you?" I asked unbelievably.

"I didn't thank you 'cause I didn't think you deserved it." She spat.

Okay… that was shocking. But I didn't mind it because we were in the presence of an unknown criminal who I had no idea whatsoever on what to do with him. And also because she still had those glowing blue pupils on, so I was pretty sure that she was just mad like I always was when I got a seizure. I was pretty sure that on a normal day, she wouldn't have said stuff like that to me. Right?

So the man took his chance and kicked me in my groins. I winced in pain as I fell on my knees. I unconsciously let him go and he went on running. The alley was quite lengthy so he didn't get so far when Lisa suddenly hopped into the air and under her feet; supporting her weight, I saw a light blue ice hover board. It took her with great speed to the kidnapper and then she got hold of him.

She jumped off the hover board and used her sword to slice him violently, tearing all parts of his body randomly. It was bloody!

I stood up and wanted to go to her and halt her before she mistakenly killed him but my groins still hurt a lot. She rose up the sword and was about to stab him but before she could, I brought her to me using my telekinesis. She stopped right in front of me and dropped the sword carelessly. I grabbed her waist and kissed her. She kissed me back. It was so intense and long and when it ended, she collapsed gently, making her ice sword and her hover board melt away and turn into a puddles of water.

The man was still on the ground, mutilated. He couldn't move because his whole body was torn and it certainly hurt. Lisa had literally cut off his right leg but his femur was all that held it to his pelvis. I walked closer to him, painful step by painful step. The force that he had used to hit me was insanely much… so much that it made walking difficult for me.

When I got some steps closer to him, my eyes turned red and so did everything in my sight. I took a few more steps towards him and then muttered these words; "You don't deserve to live anymore," with an evil hoax voice. And then I used my powers to snap his neck and he died.

He was stuck in that position; lying down, arms apart… and with his head totally turned to the right. I moved closer and then I saw a tattoo on his neck. It was a green crocodile eating some human. The art was spectacular but it rang some bells in my head. My instincts told me that there was something more to it. It was peculiar, but where in the world had I seen it before??
